Picture 4-2. The corner of Main, Church, and Neil Streets in downtown Champaign, looking southeast, some time in the 1890s.  The car at the far left is on the Neil Street track, and if it is going toward the intersection, it must turn either right or left.  The other two cars are facing each other on the single track; one or both will have to reverse ends and go back the way it came, or turn onto the Neil Street track.  Perhaps the picture was posed for some reason.  The building in the center with the spired rooftop was the home of the Champaign Gazette. — Melissa Chambers (Harris family collection)
